The port of Murtoli, located on the southern coast of Corsica, is steeped in legend and myth. According to local lore, the area was once home to a powerful sorceress who used her magic to manipulate the winds and tides of the sea. Sailors passing through the port were warned to beware of her enchantments, which could lead them astray or wreck their ships on the rocky shores.
Legend has it that the sorceress fell in love with a handsome sailor who had been shipwrecked on the coast. In order to win his love, she used her powers to create a beautiful garden of roses and jasmine that would bloom all year round, a feat considered impossible due to the harsh Mediterranean climate. The sailor was entranced by the garden and the sorceress, but his heart ultimately belonged to another.
Heartbroken, the sorceress turned her powers against the sailor and his ship, causing a fierce storm to arise and dragging the vessel into the depths of the sea. To this day, sailors passing through the port of Murtoli still offer prayers to the sorceress, seeking her favor and protection from the dangers of the sea. The beautiful garden she created, known as the Garden of the Sorceress, is said to still exist and can be visited by those brave enough to seek it out.
